That is the first chromed differential I have seen. It reminds me of Terminator 2 when the cop is a metallic liquid and forms into things. It looks like the diff is forming into some kind of new Terminator. Maybe you should name this car T3 instead of C3!

I hope you have a big plastic bag to keep it in. The frame, etc. is FANTASTIC! (but I wouldn't want to clean it every week).
